Moxley hadn't had any pencils set out, and they probably wouldn't be much use on not-quite-dried brick anyway, so Dmitriy just planned to use the smallest paintbrush he found. He did the entire outline in white, so Bast could see well against the wall and cover it with whatever hues he planned on using. Following instructions yielded brick sporting painted lines that formed a pond with two swans, lily pads, and lotus flowers. A bit of grass and reeds filled the background too, and Dima stepped back after a while to give Bast whatever room he needed.

"How's that?"
He was going to pick ALL the colors that he liked most when he was outside running or doing his tai chi. A lot of colors, but not all of them. He wasn't greedy.

The humming of his favorite sonata's had started back up again as he was actually looking forward to this last part of the activity, and he put all his paints beside Dima so that he could do whatever it was that artists did to start off a painting. He really didn't care, or know until now. The third year watched the older boy intently, and when he was finished he grabbed what he deemed the necessary brush for filling in the outlines. He dipped it in the green so that he could paint the lily pads first. "It's great. Can the swans have cabbie caps on too?" It would be his signature of sorts, since the one thing he did know about artists was that they left a signature of sorts on their works of art.
